Mitchell & Web - Table of Reds - Extended Live Version

[@F00dTube]

Keep on keeping on Mark. Cheer the fuck up.

[@laughingachilles]

This extended version is even better than the original. Fantastic stuff.

[@jamesjoyce3174]

Possibly my favourite comedy skit of all time, even better extended

[@reubenthompson2854]

Shame I'm 14 years late because I would have loved to had been in that crowd

[@simonetanzi5103]

I didn’t know I had come to the comments for this one, until I read it

[@theodorethompson3674]

Helo

[@theylivewesleep.5139]

I grew up listening the radio show on CD and it had this same sketch. Until now the secret snooker words to lady in red were a secret.

[@lyadmilo]

"You were... a table." XDD But I'm sad they left out the sign off: "This one's for you, Mark. Keep on keeping on... God bless, and cheer the fuck up."

[@SMThomasson]

I saw David and Robert live in November last year. The performance then was amazing...the snooker table costume is brilliant. And is occupied by Webb's real-life wife!

[@jamesjoyce3174]

One of my favourite comedy sketches

[@liverpool1fc]

Never seen so many players tremble as they contemplate you, chalking til their tips turn blue :)

[@TheZotmeister]

Wow, I had no idea this existed! Thanks for sharing.

[@xxTakeAChanceOnMe]

to be fair i think the lack of laughter is because the sound is mostly being recorded on the stage/their microphone things, so they're not picking up much of the audience's laughter.

[@JimReaper24]

Only in his sleep, Peter. Only in his sleep.

[@zeeslag123]

Bill Bailey must love this!

[@Mattheq]

It's no Teen Spirit...

[@bills.prestonesq.5905]

That backing track tho. Mein Gott, it's beautiful

[@RichardIALee]

A long pot is a potting shot from long range - a snooker table is 12ft long so it's a difficult skill and you are quite likely to leave your opponent in a good position if you miss. A big pink would be an attempt at potting the pink ball (6 points) that would have a meaningful affect on the frame being played. The snooker table has raised edges called cush[ions].

[@wiregreyhounds]

The best part is Chris de Burgh getting no applause when he walks out.

[@Szaam]

I've never seen so many men ask if you fancied a game, looking for a quiet few frames.

[@TommyTriangle]

"Do you even know the rules?" XD

[@EvilUncleFrank]

This is so stupid I love it.

[@dnizabhad]

hahah,david drinking all of the beer at 5:45

[@adking18]

@wiregreyhounds that's not actually Chris De Burgh lol i'm pretty sure that's James Bachman who is another of the cast members on That Mitchell and Webb Look

[@MrShowbizben]

I've never seen you looking so oblong as you do tonight, I've never seen your angles so right, you were a table.

[@Jaquass]

But where's the cue ball gone??!

[@fretjamguitar]

Me and You Versus the World by Space

[@josh2Sides2]

fretjam great under rated band great song

[@lyadmilo]

Thank you!

[@bobob4477]

Oh my god David's bald cap thing is so terrible it's brilliant.

[@MantonioBanderas]

I in fact HAVE seen so many players wondering if the long pot is on.

[@izzardfan]

LOL, this is crazy, but hilarious!

[@fretjamguitar]

Just in case it's been bugging you for 4 years...

[@howardhurst]

That's a song by Space...though I can't remember what it's called. They also did "Female of the Species".

[@freerkie92]

Is this song avaliable on CD or something?

[@freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez]

@TimLake The title is " me and you VS the world" :)

[@shanecommins7968]

What's with this crowd? Barely a giggle out of them.

[@lyadmilo]

I love this song, but have no clue about snooker. What is a long pot? And what is a big pink? And cush to cush??

[@josh2Sides2]

lyadmilo cush = cushion

[@tomwalsh6655]

The pack of reds is upside down on the table

[@Agman.P]

Done purposely in reference to bikini bottoms

[@tomwalsh6655]

@@Agman.P ahh what is bikini bottoms?

[@BalCleric]

@TimLake That would be "You and me vs world now" Two years late but Space are great.

[@freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez]

oh dear..James Bachman..didn't know you had it in you. *.*

[@pjsmith2744]

A billion times better than the original! 😂

[@eduardojorgemarques]

Cush to cush...

[@weckar]

Are they on stilts or something? they look unnaturally tall...

[@LauyPauy]

david's wig was put on in a hurry!

[@themothmanreturns]

hahaha

[@ryko26]

what was that ferrari885? Can you write in English?

[@ryko26]

not very funny. Lots of people laughing (a little bit) politely. Ho ho. A comic song. Could be Hale & Pace or Little & Large.

[@rossomac21]

In my opinion the comedy is derived from the song being about something as inherently boring as snooker I know I'm saying this 12 years after your comment, but still.
